Source Safe and iterative development

In this discussion I am assuming you have a iterative development cycle. Lets say a website project. Your production website is up and running, now you are adding more features or changes.

Maintain a branch in Visual Source Safe which exactly mirrors the code on production server. Maintain a seperate development branch. This way if there is a emergency bug in production code, you know what exactly is on the production box and you can fix it.

All your current development code resides in a seperate branch. Now when your new development in pushed to production merge your code.

Always label your releases.

If you are the person who is releasing code, make sure all your changes are checked in, you create a label and then make a release.

Last but not the least - Never, Never check in code that breaks the build.

Function and function in Javascript

All of us know how to write functions in Javascript right ?

function SayHello()
{
alert(”Hello”);
}

Now take a look at the following code:

var SayHello2 = new Function(”alert(’Hello’);”);

Now what happens when I run the following code ?

SayHello();
SayHello2();

Both of them run in the same way.
Lets know what happens here.

Function is a built in type in Javascript. One of its properties contains the executable code and can be invoked by using ().
